[00:00:10] Hawu baba ngashada intombi yami esikolweni emoliva

[00:00:19] (oh father I married my girl at the school on mooi river)

[00:00:30] Kwashunqa uthuli kwandlovu madoda silwela lobuhle

[00:00:34] (the dust was rising with all the preparations at ndlovus home)

[00:00:43] Usipho wakipha izinkomo ezamalobolo ezinamasondo

[00:00:46] (sipho paid the bride price with a motor car)

[00:01:02] Wadlala umukwa wami, wadlala engalindile

[00:01:04] (and my father-in-law performed an unexpected war dance

[00:01:12] On the spur of the moment)

[00:01:14] Wadlala umukwa wami engalindile kwakhikhiza abafazi

[00:01:17] (my father-in-law performed an unexpected war dance

[00:01:22] And the women encouraged him with shrill cries)

[00:01:24] Ngisho izulu eliphezulu lalihleka kancane

[00:01:25] (even the heaven above -i.e. the zulu king -gave a small laugh)

[00:01:36] Zulu eliphezulu lalikhona lalihleka kancane

[00:01:39] (the heaven above was present and he gave a small laugh)

[00:01:48] Emoliva, emoliva

[00:01:49] (at mooi river)

[00:01:51] Chorus:

[00:01:53] Yamnandi lendaba ngaze ngashada emoliva ngiyabonga webanguni

[00:01:56] (it was a wonderful event, for I eventually got married at mooi river

[00:02:05] And I thank you people of the chunu clan)

[00:02:10] Ngaze ngashada ngaze ngathola nowami

[00:02:12] (I eventually got married, I eventually even got my own wife)

[00:02:30] Wemzila wangincelisa amasiko ngaze ngaba wumuthu

[00:02:35] (mzila!you suckled me on the traditions and customs

[00:02:46] Of the zulu and I became a person)

[00:02:53] Hawu wemakhabela nangikhulisa ngaze ngaba wumuthu

[00:02:57] (oh you people from makhabeleni you raised me until I became a person)

[00:03:07] Kungathiwani ngani banguni nahlanganisa zonke izizwe

[00:03:20] (and what can be said about you, machunu people,

[00:03:28] For you brought together all the nations)

[00:03:31] Nahlanganisa zonke izizwe ubesehlulekile ubotha

[00:03:35] (you brought all the nations together,

[00:03:43] Botha long having failed to do this)

[00:03:46] Nahlanganisa zonke izizwe ngobuhle ubesehlulekile ubotha

[00:03:48] (you brought all the nations together in good spirit,

[00:03:52] Botha having long failed)

[00:03:56] Emoliva

[00:03:58] (at mooi river)

[00:03:59] Chorus

[00:04:03] (here I call out the praise names of various people who have been

[00:04:12] Important in my life, most of whom were present at my marriage)

[00:04:21] Chorus
